What Are The Benefits Of Sash Windows?
Sash Windows Have A Traditional Charm
Sash windows are the classic old-world style of windows with a very traditional feel and are often viewed as the symbol of traditional architecture. In addition to their aesthetic value, these windows are excellent from an energy efficiency standpoint, as they allow natural light to filter behind them while mitigating draughts through the frame, resulting in popular choices for modern-day buildings seeking a classic aesthetic.
Sash Windows Are Energy Efficient
The classic look and excellent energy efficiency of sash windows have made them a popular choice for homeowners for over a century. The right ones can reduce draughts and lower energy bills if they are purchased and installed correctly.
Sash Windows Offer Increased Window Security
One of these features is the additional weight added to the sash of a window which prevents them from being easily lifted. Due to the heavier weight, breaking in is also substantially more difficult if there is resistance to pushing the window up. Sash windows are known to be more secure than other types of windows because a burglar must break through the different panes of glass if they want to gain access.
Sash Windows Are Low Maintenance
Sash windows are also very cost-efficient, which is ideal for anyone looking to simply replace their old windows or add more to an existing home. It’s all in how they open. Moveable parts are enclosed between two solid hardwood sides, often covered with an additional layer of felt or weather-stripping to prevent the elements from getting into them. And the best part about our windows is that they are stronger and more reliable than even the highest quality traditional windows! Our reinforced springs prevent sagging and bending, even in the worst conditions, so you won’t have to worry about replacing any parts.
Sash Windows Will Increase The Value Of Your Home
The windows of a home can have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else. Sash windows are a cost-effective way to improve the value and thermal efficiency of residential or commercial properties. Need assistance?

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We install an extensive range of sash windows. Among each type, there are different choices for the number and location of panes per window. Here are our top-selling sash windows:
Box Sash Windows
A box sash window is one of many styles of sash windows we install. They feature two vertical sashes – upper and lower – that are made from wood or metal and can be opened for ventilation. The heat-transfer efficiency and lightweight nature of this style contributed to its popularity in England. Our box sash window frames come in a range of wood finishes that perfectly blend with your home’s exterior design. This is achieved by a unique tapered-rail device, which adds extra depth to the window frame. These windows are crafted from the highest quality materials, providing a classic look and modern soundproofing properties. The triple glazed and warm edge sprigging of box sash windows offer an attractive look from either inside or outside your home.
Spring Balanced Sash Windows
Using a spring balanced sash means modifying a window to use it with a counterweight. Spring balanced sash windows are capable of opening much wider than other traditional windows, up to 90 degrees. As a result of the spring-loaded balance, there is no handle to pull, and once the window has been opened, it will remain open until enough pressure builds to close it, the same way an automatic garage door does. Due to their innovative double-glazing design, these windows are also more energy-efficient.
We use the traditional method of elongated slots and wooden ‘springs’ to provide tension for the windowpane to move with ease but still hold firm in all conditions. These factors have made them the best choice for period and timely projects, in addition to their fully weatherproof, lightweight, and paintable frame.
Georgian Sash Windows
Our Georgian sash windows are a unique type of window that is perfect for those who require period style sash windows that provide additional ventilation. These additions create an original look in period properties when installed discreetly. Detailed work is important to us at Ace Glazing West-Sussex, and the Georgian sash along with the columns and arches are real statements of quality and style. We use top class authentic parts to ensure quality workmanship so you can be certain of getting a period design that will be great.
Victorian Sash Windows
Double-hung sash windows can be described as Victorian sash windows. The bottom half of the frame slides up and down to open or close, while the top half stays stationary. Victorian sash windows are one of the most popular window styles in today’s market. The gap beneath the sash where the frame meets the bottom edge is called the reveal, and it lets cold air into the house. In addition to the classic look, ornate crowns and returns can be added at the top and bottom. You can choose from a range of gorgeous colours for our stunning Victorian timber sash windows, including blue and green staining to complement any exterior. Various glazing configurations are also available, including single, double, and triple glazing. Get this charming window style today to complete your period home.
Edwardian Sash Windows
Edwardian sash windows have long been a mainstay in historic homes, but many people are finding that they work well in contemporary settings as well. Installing them in new builds or existing homes would add a touch of historic flair. An important characteristic of Edwardian sash windows is their unusual shape. Several historical features remain unchanged, which makes it unique. Edwardian sash windows are unique and offer traditional styles to suit any job or style, as well as saving money because they are energy efficient.
As a result of enhanced insulation, Edwardian windows will make double glazing maintenance a breeze. Confused about what window to choose for your home? Get a free quote, call us today at 01273 257 599 to find the ideal match.
Sash Windows Frame Materials
Various frame materials are available for our sash windows to meet your specific needs.
Sash UPVC
uPVC frames provide excellent energy efficiency and resistance to the elements in our Sash Windows.
Aluminium Frames
The versatility of aluminium makes it one of the most widely used frame materials. Applied to windows, it provides excellent thermal properties because it is lightweight and rust-resistant at the same time.
Composite Sash
Using high-density polyethene (HDPE) to strengthen the frame, we sandwich it between two metal pieces to create exceptionally strong and durable sashes. A latex acrylic finish is applied over the frames to protect them from UV rays, weathering, animal damage, and chemicals that might lead to corrosion.
Wood
Whenever it comes to windows, wood is the ideal material. Renewable and biodegradable, wood is a renewable resource. Plus, wood’s low perceived cost and high perceived quality meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!. Aesthetically and functionally, our wooden frames provide a warm, cosy feel, and they are available in a variety of designs, from modern to traditional.
